Loretta tagged me, so I guess I have to do it. For such a weird person, though, I don't really have 20 interesting facts about me. Oh well, this was the best I could do:
1. I was born on my dad's 30th birthday.
2. In my life, I have had 15 cats: Molly, Sarah, Tito, Bonkers, Popoki, Iona, Mario, Kulta, Mozi, Mochi, Gladly, Loudly, Truffle, Quinn, and Tsuki.
3. I know Cyrillic, and I used to exchange notes with my best friend in high school using Cyrillic and a weird jumble of languages (chok, jag no kenne hn...men ella es ramhar). Sometimes we'd even write a fake Japanese accent into it, or switch front and back vowels and voiced and unvoiced consonants. Good times...and God, do I miss him.
4. On a related note, some folk say I'm gifted with languages, but I's not all sure about that. I've attempted German and Spanish officially and Finnish, Swedish, Tuvan, and Gaelic unofficially.
5. I tried pot a couple weeks ago and it made me dizzy and cough-y. I didn't like it, so no more for me.
6. I've never had surgery, broken bones, or any kind of interesting illness. (I was clinically depressed for a while though...and I probably have a whole slew of undiagnosed mental disorders.)
7. I've been a Wiccan, a (non-Wiccan) Pagan, an Atheist, an Agnostic, a Pantheist, and a Buddhist. I'm currently a Buddhist with many elements of most of the above stuck on.
8. I haven't changed much since I was a little kid. Not much at all...
9. I love making lists and organizing things. Yes, I'm a Virgo.
10. I've been in love with Finland for five years; ever since I heard Viikon Vaivane by Vrttin. Seriously, it's a really damn cool country.
11. I've always liked healthy food. Sometimes I start eating bad things to spite myself, but ever since I was a kid I've just loved healthy things. Even brussel sprouts. Probably because:
12. My parents became vegetarians before I was concieved, so I've never (knowingly) eaten meat in my life.
13. My best friends are people I know online. My high school friends have abandoned me...they all went cool places and forgot all about me, and no one at my community college is worth talking to.
14. On another related note: I'm unemployed, I go to a community college, I'm poor, I live with my boyfriend, I live in a hick town that's trying to be cool (worse than a regular hick town), my only income is an allowance from my grandparents, I drink sometimes, I spend most of my time on a porn site, and I cook and clean (barefoot) for my boyfriend. And yet...I don't feel low-class.
15. I was on Prozac for about a year, but it made me crazier than before.
16. I'm learning to play Exalted (a White Wolf RPG, like anime + Greek and Chinese mythology + role playing games...awesome). Who knows how good I'll be, though. *anxious*
17. I'm still reading Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. It's been more than a year, but I'm having so much trouble actually picking it up and reading it.
18. I have a really wonky tan line right now. I need to start wearing sunscreen more often.
19. I grew up among Occultists, hippies, musicians, gays, goths, vegetarians, and other fun whackos. No surprise, then, that I grew up the way I did.
20. I don't really fit into any one category, though I do have elements of a lot of them (hippie, goth, straight edge, fantasy fan, Renaissance Faire-person, nerd, bookworm, liberal, Pagan, etc.). It's a little lonely sometimes, but I don't mind anymore.
Whew, that was hard. Okay, I tag fatherklyde (he won't do it), Venla, Tadzi, Yuriel, and devil_duckie.

lol. I think your one of the more interesting people I know. But I think it would be interesting if I tore up your lists. I've always wondered what you list people do when something like that happens.
yuriel:
quite the interesting list of factoids about yourself dear
